Eight hundred and forty seventh chapter commander angry
The fortification group prepared by Wang Ping for the Japanese had a total of four lines of defense!
We fought from two o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon before taking down the first three lines of defense. During this period, we needed two air support!
"General, the aviation force reported that it is getting dark very early now. From now until eight o'clock tomorrow morning, they will not be able to send the air force to support us!" the chief of staff reported with a frown.
Not making any progress for a whole afternoon, this can definitely be called a shame for Major General Kawaguchi, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is invincible in frontal battlefields.
Major General Kawaguchi lost his temper so many times that all the subordinates around him did not dare to say a word, fearing that he would say the wrong thing and vent all of Major General Kawaguchi's anger on himself.
"Bagya Road, I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's will to resist was so strong. If other troops had been guarding the position, they would have collapsed under the fierce attack of the imperial army!" Major General Kawaguchi replied angrily.
The chief of staff comforted him: "General, the Eighth Route Army is no more afraid of death than our Imperial Army. In terms of fighting will, it is no worse than the Imperial Army. In addition, our opponent, the New Regiment, is more cunning and has built extremely strong positions.
And a large number of anti-gun fortifications that can withstand aerial bombs have been deployed!”
"With these fortifications and bunkers, many of the advantages of the imperial army have been weakened."
"In this case, the imperial army can only fight head-on with the enemy, consume the opponent's strength bit by bit, and then win the position!"
"From my humble perspective, it's already great that we were able to capture three lines of defense and one forward position of the Eighth Route Army's New Regiment in one afternoon!"
Major General Kawaguchi's face looked much better, but the anger in his heart was still rising.
After finally suppressing it with a deep breath, he stared at the battlefield and ordered: "There is still a line of defense in the entire fortification group, which must be the strongest line of defense of the Eighth Route Army. After all, if we cross this line of defense, we will enter their base area!"
"General, you mean that the last line of defense of the fortification group in front of us must be the most difficult to defeat!" the chief of staff asked with a frown.
"Not bad!" Major General Kawaguchi affirmed.
"The defense line is the most difficult to defeat, and we have no aviation support. After dark, our firepower advantage will be greatly weakened, and it will be even more difficult to win this line of defense!"
"Order, the troops stop attacking and switch to defense. Leave an infantry brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Association Army on the front line to defend the three lines of defense we captured in the afternoon. The other troops camp outside the fortification group. We will continue the attack tomorrow!"
The new regiment was in front of the enemy headquarters. As soon as the Japanese offensive stopped, the three battalion commanders gathered over.
Each of the three people had very ugly faces, lowered their heads and said nothing.
Yan Song, commander of the third battalion, and a soldier from the fourth battalion township even had injuries on their bodies, and the bright red blood had soaked out of the gauze, dyeing their uniforms red.
"Please report your respective casualties!" Wang Ping asked, breaking the heavy atmosphere at the headquarters.
"Let me talk first..." Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan was the first to stand up.
"I led two companies plus the troops directly under the battalion headquarters, a total of about 400 people. Now there are 158 people who can continue to fight. The remaining 52 people are seriously injured, and all the others have been sacrificed, which is a direct loss of half of the force!"
"The third battalion also has 400 people participating in the battle. Now there are 142 people who can continue to fight. The remaining 69 people have lost their combat effectiveness due to minor or serious injuries. All the others have died, directly losing half of the troops!" Yan Song, commander of the third battalion, reported immediately.
road.
Zhan Rongjun of the Fourth Battalion looked much better. Among the three lines of defense captured by the Japs, the third line of defense he defended was the most violent. Not only did he have to be bombed by mountain artillery, but he also suffered two full rounds from the Japs' air force.
bombing.
However, because many soldiers of the Fourth Battalion had been in frontal battlefields and knew how to avoid shelling and bombing, the casualties of the Fourth Battalion were much less.
"Commander, the casualties of the Fourth Battalion are slightly smaller... but 145 people were sacrificed, and 45 people lost combat effectiveness due to minor or serious injuries. Of the more than 400 people I brought with me, there are still more than 200 people who can continue to fight!"
"Pa..." As soon as Rong Jun finished speaking, there was a sound of banging on the door.
The commander held the armed belt in his hand, slapped it hard on the sleeper at the entrance of the command post, and then walked in angrily.
When he saw Wang Ping, he cursed: "Wang Ping, you have won a few battles and your tail is raised to the sky. How dare you fight a positional battle with the Japanese!"
"I just heard it. Three battalions lost five to six hundred people in one afternoon. How many people in your new regiment can withstand such a loss!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you are now the leader, I would really want to shoot you right now!"
The deputy chief of staff also came in at this time and said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"Wang Ping, the casualties of the troops are indeed a bit heavy... If we use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to deal with the Japs, the casualties will definitely not be so heavy!"
"I know you. You never suffer in a war, you only want to take advantage. Explain to us immediately why you chose to fight the Japanese here in a positional battle where we have no advantage. If you can't explain it clearly, I am sure that your commander
Although I can’t shoot you, I will certainly remove you from your post!”
Seeing the commander and the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters appearing together at his former enemy headquarters, Wang Ping was stunned for a long time without reacting.
Because he couldn't think of the reason why two people appeared here together.
"Commander, Chief, why are you here!"
Seeing the political commissar who walked in next, he immediately asked: "The political commissar, commander and chief are here together, why don't you send me a telegram. Now the Japanese and puppet troops are attacking heavily, and there are little devils and spies everywhere. The chief is here with us."
What to do if something goes wrong!"
The deputy chief of staff immediately interrupted: "Wang Ping, don't change the subject. Don't worry about why we came here. We are not allowed to inform you about Political Commissar Huang. Now Commander Chen and I want to know why you want to come."
Fighting positional warfare with the Japanese resulted in so many casualties among the troops!"
Wang Ping did not explain, but replied confidently: "Please rest assured, two chiefs, I, Wang Ping, always take advantage when fighting Japanese enemies, and it will be the same this time."
"If the two chiefs want to know why I chose to fight a positional battle with the Japanese, you can choose to sit in on our next combat meeting here, and you will know then."
"Okay, let's listen here!" Before the deputy chief of staff could say anything, Commander Chen, still holding back his anger, sat on a stool nearby.
The arrival of the commander and the deputy chief of staff made the atmosphere in the headquarters quite tense, especially among the battalion commanders. Chiefs like the commander had basically no contact with them. Now two chiefs appeared all of a sudden, and they were sitting there.
Meeting together makes them both nervous and excited.
Wang Ping, who is full of confidence in himself, is like a man who has nothing to do and knows what to do!
After glancing at a few of his subordinates, he almost asked: "The troops suffered a great loss, I admit that. But haven't you noticed that the troops' combat effectiveness is stronger? As long as the soldiers who survived on the battlefield, everyone
Became a well-deserved veteran."
"Yes!" Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan was the first to agree!
"My Fourth Company lost more than half. In the afternoon, they mobilized dozens of prisoners to replenish the troops. They had not yet conducted run-in training. I can still see at a glance that the Fourth Company's combat effectiveness is much stronger than before the war. If it happens again.
After some running-in training, the combat effectiveness will be at least 50% higher."
"Murderous intent, the troops have murderous intent!" Yan Song added immediately.
